dang..
thats extra gay.. i kinda figured as much.
but still.. do you have an explanation to why??
the chra has everything but the exhaust and compressor housings..
its already broken.. and it seriously drives fine.. it just makes a little more noise.. it even boosts the exact same....
pulls just as hard..
should mention its a garret GT2860RS..
if that helps.. |

You sure it's fucked? Could very likely be a turbo to mani gasket leak. Allot of times those sound like a fucked turbo.
Take your intake pipe off and check to see if it makes any strange noise when spinning by hand. |

Step 1. Remove turbo
Step 2. Continue driving until new turbo arrives.
Step 3. Pay ticket for violating noise laws.
Step 4. Find fresh dog turds.

Step 6. Place bag on front step of neighbour that phoned cops on you.
Step 7. Light bag on fire.
Step 8. Run muthafucka, run! |

if you know anything about compressors(turbo) and bearings you will know not to drive it or you will cause more problems. obviously its ball bearings right? well if their rattling around the balls are hitting each other. that means the cage that they are held in is fucked. if the balls hit each other they will slowly pit each other and little bits of balls will end up in the runner of the bearings, causing more pits in the runners.
it will only get worse and way more expensive the more you drive it. nevermind your turbine will probably fuck the walls up if its not balanced with the bearings. |

You hear balls clanking together and wonder if it will hurt the turbo?
Let's put it this way: If YOU run really hard and your balls clank together, does it hurt? Will you keep running for long if that happens?

If you are technically minded,
Pull the turbo off your car, do a partial teardown and inspect your bearings yourself.
Check youtube for Guides and tutorials Google up the info on rebuilding a turbo for how to tear down and put back together (its good to know this stuff anyway based on the dynamics of how a turbo works from a reliable source)
get a set of really fine Snap Ring Pliers from Princess auto , a rubber mallet and some wrenches.
(new Gaskets are recommended for reassembly but we are all smart and know that already)
You can tear it down and inspect the bearings visually after you mark the Compressor wheel to where it sits on the turbine shaft so it goes on with its properbalance (permanent marker)
Or you could just remove the intake pipe and physically check for movement of the shaft front to back and up and down, Cheapest diagnostics you can do for the turbo itself.
If the shaft has almost no play , check your gaskets as recommended above.

| What kind of turbo is it? if its anthing but a innovative or a Persition turbo you WILL NOT hear the "balls" hitting eachother. how much boost? for how long? Was the turbo new when you bought it? |

| If you can hear the balls in your turbo, it is digesting itself big time. |

It's a Garret GT2860RS.
I still think it may be something as simple as a gasket leak. |

lol..
its not a gasket leak because when you stick your hang in the compressor housing and spin the shaft with your fingers.. you hear a click click click...
and if you spin it slower.. the the clicking is much slower.. thent he faster.. the clicking is faster.. its not the gasket lol
i was pretty sure it was a bad idea.. lol i took it all apart.. and found that the oil has pooled up in the chra.. which is kinda fuckin weird.... but whatever..
how bout selling it as is? think its worth 250-300 bucks?? i just want a new turbo.. fuck it..
:lol: |
